You live where?!?!

This weekend we had plans to attend the surprise party of good friends of ours - a 40th birthday party to be exact. It was to be held in their new home. Though they've lived there a few months it was the first time that we had the chance to visit. Other friends joked that it was a mansion - just so I didn't look so dumb-founded, I wanted to check it out online. I took a glimpse using Google Maps Satellite view. What I saw was very close to a home that many of our friends in - large, 2-story modern home in Frisco - the picture we saw when we turned that corner was something completely differnt. This house could be - for all intents and purposed a mansion. I feel so silly writing this, but I was truly in awe. This home has everything - I mean, even a room for scrapbooking! Our friends look girl has a separate closet that has been designed to be a "backstage dressing room" to be used for dress-up and make-believe. They have fully stocked work out room, two offices, a enormous play room - make that two, there is one for the big kids too. They even have a movie theatre. No, this is not a media room - it is really a movie theatre. We're so happy that they have this house and all their kids have room to run and grow - we're also pleased to be counted among their friends to help fill the house with laughter and joy. All I know is Marvin is already plotting ways to get invited to watch the superbowl. :) It was a very awesome get together and we had a wonderful time catching up with everyone!

After Mother's Day festivities, we met up with the Kolb's to check out Taste of Addison. Carson's walking, so the boys took the opportunity to run around outside while the mommies and daddies sampled food and caught up. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon. A perfect Mother's Day if you ask me!
